46 Best Craft Breweries near Niles

“The vibe is very chill and relaxing. The sandwich I had was thanksgiving turkey sandwich . Delicious with turkey gravy served on the side. Beer was really tasty . My first beer was a Kriek sour 3.5 out of 5 . The sour taste was very forward but but behind that there was not a good punch of cherry flavor. My second beer was a raspberry jalapeno that was very tasty. It was in the belguin fruit beer style. I give that one 4 out 5. The flavors were bright and playful with a slight hint of sweetness. Enjoyable place and nice servers and people.“

“I was visiting Chicago for the first time and Goose Island brewery tour was one of the best activities I’ve done.

Jonny was extremely knowledgeable about what he does not just about his own brewery but the craft beers scene of the America in general.“

“Great food and love the booth“

“We have some of the stuff in St. Louis, but getting to stop by the brewery was a real treat. The service was impeccable and the staff gave great recommendations for someone who is more fond of West Coast IPAs. The store folks were accommodating and we left happy. Will return!“

“Friggin *phenomenal* !! 🍻
The beers are awesome pretty much across the board, and the inside is all exposed brick and coziness - definitely makes you want to sit a spell and tip a few beers back.

I absolutely love that Maplewood now has *hop water* 🙌🏼 (several hop water flavors to choose from, actually) and a bunch of infused seltzers to choose from, in addition to the beer and spirits.
And I *adore* that Maplewood loves pugs!! I’ve yet to meet a pug there for some scritches over a brew, but we all gotta have goals amirite?? 🤭🐶

Fave beer of the day 2025 - Morbidly Obese Pug (Chocolate Mousse) 👌🏼😍🍻
It was straight choco pudding ✨ magic“

“Stopped off here for a few beers on my big 60th birthday brewery tour. Fab place, lots of great beers on, big choice of them. Loads of cans and bottles in the fridges. Loads of seating. Big shout out to Marcus for all his help and advice, hope you get to see oasis“

“Great beers Great atmosphere. Friendly staff!!“

“I have definitely had some less-than-stellar microbrewery experiences but this was NOT one of them. 100% success rate on the interesting and completely exceptional beer here. Solar flare, Portage Pils, Ridiculousness. Coming from THE Bier Capital of the planet, completely comfortable recommending this small business to do business with. Very good Bier indeed.“

“First time at Spiteful brewing and it was exactly what you might expect from an independent brewery. Good selection of beers, good location and it looks like they have a very nice outdoor seating area out front.

This day was not conducive to outdoor seating, but I imagine this is a great location during the summer months.“

“Attended an event here! The staff were incredible, clean and accessible. Kid and dog friendly! We had a fabulous time and can't wait to return for another event! Thanks for everything!“

“I attended a private event here yesterday and it was awesome. The venue was so cool, the staff was excellent, and the food and drinks were great. The event coordinators made a great choice when they picked Double Clutch. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be going back.“

“Do I recommend this place? Yes, but depending on who is bartending. It’s never a good feeling to over hear a bartender call you derogatory names when you’re feet away from them- great way to lose “regulars” / consistent business.“

“Great cider family and pet friendly“

“Best brewery in Chicago for BA stouts, which is my favorite style. They have some good sours and other ales as well, and I love the space! Plenty of room, great ambiance, and they do tours! Plenty of options, and you can do flights, though the price varies!“

“Yummy beer, welcoming atmosphere!“

“Small space with a patio in an industrial area, a short ride away from ORD area hotels, about a dozen own taps, flights available, didn’t have a chance to try any food, friendly service, open currently 5 days a week, plus for being open fairly late“

“Nice atmosphere for friends and fellowship“

“Hopewell has such a cute vibe! I loved the fact that they had a large selection of games for passing your time there as you enjoy the beer. The Lil Buddy was perfect. Just a little something. They also had super friendly bartender who was kind enough to give me a few stickers. I collect enamel pins, so was glad to buy one of those from the merch.“

“Love coming here in the mornings! My favorite coffee shop within 10 minutes of me. I normally get a cappuccino or a matcha/matcha lemonade. I love that I can bring my dog in to hang out with me too. It’s a good sized space, and they have a lot of events in the evenings as well.“

“A delightful space with many beers“

“Great beers. Great service and friendly, knowledgeable staff at Dovetail.“

“I purchase Brava Kombucha at the Arlington Heights farmers market in the summer. It's the lowest sugar artisanal Kombucha available, and their flavors are delicious. Get there in the morning as they often sell out by the afternoon. So good for digestion.“

“The staff is full of chill people who are smart and ready to hang. They also host cool events every month... but I might be a bit bias as one of their event producers 🤗“

“Great beer. Great staff. Great live music.“

“I just saw the way Off Color Brewing took care of a family of ducks and I think that a staff who would go completely out of their way to help the wildlife in their area survive should be commended to the fullest. Thank you for being such wonderful humans!!!“

“Nice space. Good beer. I had a pint of Twice Lucky. Excellent, live jazz from Chris Greene and Damian Espinosa on Sunday afternoon.“

“No bowling lanes here! Google summary is wrong. They used to have it at their old stand alone location, but when they moved into District Brew Yards that no longer exists. If google allowed edits or comments like that, I'd do it... but they don't.. so i have to leave a review. sigh.“

“Great beer. Fresh, crisp, & tasty.“

“Great service and fun atmosphere!“

“Brought my kids to a concert there and the customer service was amazing. They were very accommodating and helpful with the kids. On top of that our food was delicious. Even my pickiest eater ate their fill. We had a blast! Thank you guys so much! 🫶🏽🫶🏽“

“Visited May 2024. Great craft beer brewery. Indoor and outdoor seating. Good selection of beers, mostly pale ales/ipas when I visited but also some heavier darker beers + lagers etc. There is something for everyone.
There was also a shop, good amount of to-go beers, merch and some weed stuff.
They also serve food!“

“Just awesome. Really. I mean, go in, have a look at the 20 or the 10. You would never ever taste another beer like these. Period.“

“Was great when it opened, then they took away all the good food choices and changed to only having just okay pizza that was over priced. Always had some good beer choices though. Having liquid love move in recently was a big plus for them. They have great beers. I hope to see a stand alone liquid love again soon.“

“When you're about to turn into N capitol st, make sure you make a wide enough turn from the left lane! Park on the street then go check in, backing up is tight, you have a U turn room at dead-end,
Nice ppl and quick unloading,“

“Everything very neat and clean. Waiters very friendly👍🏼“

“They've got something for everybody, for every palette. Lately, my favorite brewery.“

“Let me start by saying I really love this place! For the last few months my co-worker and I have been coming here every Friday after work to relax with drinks and good food. The service is always top notch and the pizza is crazy delicious! We usually split The Butcher with an add of giardinara - totally amazing. Everything from the steak sandwich to the smash burger are delicious and don't even get me started on the fried pickles! You can't stop eating them!! I wish I had some photos to post but we always forget and just start devouring the food. Cheers to many more Fridays and thank you Crust Taproom!!“

“A pleasant neighborhood brewery, bar, and restaurant. We generally order burgers or fish and chips, and enjoy a local beer with our meal. We ordered soft pretzels for our ap, which came with two amazingly good dpping sauces - yum!
Great casual spot.“

“We tried Pho no. 1 Brewing tonight and we were really happy with it! We’ll be back again for sure! The Pho was a little sweeter than I expected, but it was my first time having it so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The beef skewers, egg rolls, and wings were amazing. All four of us left full and happy! Definitely recommend!“

“Before the spot burned down, this was my favorite neighborhood spot to visit for good beer and food.The food was always amazing. They served solid bar food and had some amazing dinner options. Also the atmosphere was really cool with the paintings and the windows into the brewery. They also had a wide variety of beer that they would come out with and rotate out seasonally, so it was always worth coming back to try the new beer they released.The parking was pretty good as there was a good amount of free parking near the venue.I talked with the owners and they are planning to reopen. I can't wait for them to come back!!“

“Best. Pizza. On. Earth…period“

“Perfect venue for any party or hangout! We had an excellent time celebrating a friend!“

“We have been wanting to try this place for a long time and finally made our way there. It's big and bright inside with lots of Mexican flare. The service was friendly and inviting and the food was so tasty. We had nachos with chicken and bowl with steak. The servings are big so come hungry. I'm not a huge beer drinker but we really enjoyed the mango and mint seltzers. We even bought some to take home. So whether you're catching a game or just hanging with friends /family, this is an excellent choice to drink and eat!“

“Good beer. Good atmosphere. Great service“

“Had a great night at Uncommon Ground! Our bartender was great, the beer was amazing and the food was delicious! Definitely recommend.“

“I threw a small party in the Hops room this past weekend and it was great! We had a great server and delicious pizza, apps and drinks!“
